Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2642: The Prefect Reveals Himself

"Christian Clark!!"

Accompanying the angry shout was a ghostly old figure.

This old figure, while bringing a young man, abruptly intruded into Kasen Byrd’s courtyard without Christian Clark’s permission.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

An old man and a young man almost simultaneously appeared in the courtyard of Christian Clark’s residence, right in front of Christian Clark and Wyatt Barnes.

The young man brought in by the old man was not unfamiliar to Wyatt Barnes; he was Felix Campbell, the same person Wyatt had severely injured half a year ago.

As for the old man...

"Tony Campbell?"

Wyatt’s gaze fell on the old man but found the old man appeared quite ordinary, not someone overtly villainous.

Yet, at this moment, his eyes and face were filled with palpable anger.

With Christian Clark’s earlier reminder, he already realized:

The old man before him was none other than Tony Campbell, the chief sacrificial officer at the County Governor’s Mansion!

"Wyatt Barnes!!"

Upon being brought to the scene by Tony Campbell, Felix Campbell instantly noticed Wyatt Barnes, glaring at him with eyes brimming with killing intent.

Like a venomous snake, eager to bite and poison Wyatt Barnes to death instantly!

"Wyatt Barnes?"

Originally, Tony Campbell’s gaze immediately fell on Christian Clark after revealing himself, but as soon as Felix Campbell’s furious shout rang out, Tony Campbell’s gaze swiftly moved from Christian Clark to Wyatt Barnes as swiftly as lightning.

"Are you Wyatt Barnes?"

Tony Campbell’s face, initially sullen, became even more sullen.

"Elder Christian, who might this be?"

Facing the unfriendly gazes of Felix Campbell and Tony Campbell, Wyatt Barnes seemed indifferent, turning to Christian Clark beside him, inquiring as if unaware.

"He is Tony Campbell, Felix’s adopted father."

Christian Clark complied with the explanation.

"So, it is Sacrificial Officer Tony Campbell."

Wyatt Barnes appeared enlightened.

Following this, his gaze shifted back to Tony Campbell, scrutinizing him from head to toe...

He was curious about this first sacrificial officer of the County Governor’s Mansion, the person Manuel Willow of Bloodshade City wished to kill with all his might.

"Wyatt Barnes, as long as you join under my tutelage and become my direct disciple... the incident where you severely injured Felix half a year ago will be completely written off between us. From then on, you and Felix will no longer be enemies but brothers."

Suddenly, the gloom on Tony Campbell’s face vanished without warning, replaced by a faint smile. He straightforwardly expressed his desire to take Wyatt Barnes as a direct disciple.

He promised that if Wyatt Barnes joined him, neither he nor Felix would trouble Wyatt any longer.

Almost at the moment Tony Campbell finished speaking.

Christian Clark wore an expression of ’as expected,’ clearly anticipating this scenario all along.

Wyatt Barnes remained composed, but inwardly he grew more disgusted with Tony Campbell.

Tony Campbell was indeed consistent with the rumors.

"Father!"

Unlike Wyatt Barnes and Christian Clark’s calm demeanor, Felix Campbell’s expression dramatically changed upon hearing Tony Campbell’s promise to Wyatt, becoming utterly anxious.

His worst fear had become a reality.

If Wyatt Barnes became his junior brother, it meant Felix could never seek revenge.

He was unwilling!

"Shut up!"

While waiting for Wyatt Barnes’ response, Tony Campbell’s face instantly turned dark upon hearing Felix’s sudden voice, glaring angrily at him, frightening Felix into silence, not daring to breathe or speak another word.

"Sacrificial Officer Tony Campbell."

Under Tony Campbell’s slightly expectant gaze, Wyatt Barnes spoke calmly, "First, thank you for your kindness."

"Secondly, I already have a master... so, unfortunately, I must decline your gracious offer, Sacrificial Officer Tony Campbell."

Wyatt Barnes, in his words, plainly rejected Tony Campbell.

"You can switch allegiances and join me."

Tony Campbell squinted, a glint of chill flashing in his eyes, raising his voice, speaking domineeringly.

"Impossible."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "I will not betray my master."

"Wyatt Barnes, my father showing interest in you is your good fortune... You better not reject kindness and choose to face the consequences instead!"

Just as Tony Campbell’s face turned sullen again, looking exceptionally ugly, Felix Campbell, with a glint of glee in his eyes, feigned anger, casting an icy glare at Wyatt Barnes, speaking out coldly.

His words seemed more like standing up for his father, Tony Campbell.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Tony Campbell, glaring with icy eyes at Wyatt Barnes, stated: "Don’t think that with Christian Clark shouldering the blame for the incident half a year ago, it’s all settled... Let me tell you: today, even Christian Clark cannot protect himself!"

"Let alone you!"

Toward the end, Tony Campbell’s tone grew increasingly heavy.

"Christian Clark Elder can’t even protect himself?"

Upon hearing Tony Campbell’s words, Wyatt Barnes instinctively looked at Christian Clark by his side, but saw that Christian stood there calmly, showing no signs of disturbance from Tony’s words.

"Hmph!"

Following Wyatt Barnes’s gaze, Tony Campbell also noticed Christian’s calm demeanor, and immediately became furious, angrily shouting, "Christian, half a year ago, you took the blame for Wyatt Barnes... Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?"

"If you don’t give me an explanation for this... You should know my methods!"

As Tony Campbell spoke, a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Elder Tony Campbell, you shouldn’t be demanding an explanation from me... because I was acting under orders."

Christian Clark said calmly.

"Under whose orders?!"

Tony Campbell asked sharply.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten...

In this County Governor’s Mansion, the only other person who could order Christian Clark, besides him, was the Nine Nether County’s Governor himself.

"Under my orders."

Just as Tony Campbell’s body emitted waves of murderous intent, as if he might attempt to kill Christian Clark at any moment, a detached voice suddenly rang out, seemingly coming from all directions, making it difficult to discern the source.

Whoosh!

In an instant, like a breeze passing by, another figure appeared in the courtyard where Christian Clark resided.

Wyatt Barnes looked closely and found:

The figure that seemed to appear out of thin air in the courtyard was that of a tall, middle-aged man wearing a silver robe embroidered with a silver dragon, with a square face, firm features, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, emanating an imposing aura.

"Is it Governor Tian Jiyu of Nine Nether County?"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also guessed the identity of this middle-aged man.

"Lord County Governor!"

The moment the middle-aged man appeared, Christian Clark quickly saluted him respectfully, and even Felix Campbell, who stood behind Tony Campbell, was somewhat panicked and saluted respectfully.

Only Wyatt Barnes and Tony Campbell remained motionless.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Right then, Tony Campbell suddenly glared at Wyatt Barnes, shouting coldly, "Upon seeing Lord County Governor, you dare not salute... Are you disregarding Lord County Governor? Do you realize you’ve committed the crime of great disrespect to him!"

"Tony Campbell, it seems you didn’t salute either?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced indifferently at Tony Campbell, retorting.

"Hmph!"

Tony Campbell snorted coldly, lifting his proud head, "Many years ago, Lord County Governor already said that I do not need to salute when seeing him... And you, a mere boy, think you can compare to me, Tony Campbell? When I, Tony Campbell, was making monumental contributions to the County Governor’s Mansion, to Nine Nether County, who knows where you were!"

"Wyatt Barnes, you dare to show great disrespect to Lord County Governor... As the first Sacrificial Officer of the County Governor’s Mansion, it’s my duty to punish you!"

As his words ended, a vast, magnificent Immortal Origin force surged from Tony Campbell’s body, and his right arm suddenly trembled, lashing out like a frenzied giant python.

With unstoppable momentum, a palm struck towards Wyatt Barnes.

This palm strike, containing the subtleties of Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, was formidable, akin to a thunderous bolt, seemingly not meant to punish Wyatt Barnes, but to kill him!

As Tony Campbell launched the palm towards Wyatt Barnes, killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Wyatt Barnes never expected Tony Campbell to attempt to kill him, and his face changed completely, with an icy, intimidating glare appearing in his eyes, causing the temperature where his gaze fell to drop several degrees.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to mobilize the Immortal Origin within him to resist Tony Campbell’s aggressive, murderous palm strike.

"Hmph!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying, earth-shaking cold snort.

Immediately after, a power akin to a majestic dragon roared from the side, intercepting Tony Campbell’s thunderous palm in the blink of an eye.

Boom!!

The majestic dragon-like force collided with Tony Campbell’s roaring palm, emitting a thunderous crash as a small mushroom cloud blossomed.

Rolling shockwaves struck the void, whipping up gusts of wind.

After Tony Campbell’s whistling palm was intercepted, he did not strike again because he dared not!

The one who intercepted his palm was none other than the Nine Nether County Governor ’Tian Jiyu’, who hadn’t uttered a word since appearing.

"Lord County Governor?"

Tony Campbell looked at Tian Jiyu, showing an expression of apprehension and fear.

He never expected that the Nine Nether County’s Governor would act for the sake of a young powerhouse recently acquired to oppose him.

He had thought that with one palm, he could kill Wyatt Barnes, who refused to join him, avenging his adopted son and venting his own anger.

Unexpectedly, Lord County Governor intervened.

"Tony Campbell."

As the Nine Nether County Governor, ’Tian Jiyu’ finally spoke.

He looked at Tony Campbell and said indifferently: "Half a year ago, the matter of Elder Christian Clark taking the blame was at my instigation..."

"What? Do you have a problem with that?"

Tian Jiyu asked.

Although he valued Tony Campbell greatly, it didn’t mean he was willing to give up the easily attainable mid-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’ for Tony Campbell!
